Volunteer Application

General Information

UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago is committed to do all it can to protect the vulnerable adults and children it serves from all forms of abuse, neglect, & exploitative victimization. To that end, this section includes person background information necessary to ensure we exercise due diligence in screening any person before s/he is authorized for regular access to the UCP Seguin workplacem its program sites and for ongoing contact with its participants and staff.

We recognize that many people have made mistakes in the past. A conviction record will not necessarily be a bar to volunteering. Factors such as age & time of the offense, seriousness, rehabilitation and nature of the offense will be taken into account.

We need you to answer all questions truthfully so that we can discuss any problems you may have had in advance of the selection process. Please be advised that we must conduct a background check, including but not limited to criminal convictions, driving record, etc. to ensure our participants safety. Therefore, any false or omitted answers to application questions will result in your application being rejected.

PURSUANT TO CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION ACT 20 ILCS 2630/5: APPLICANTS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE SEALED OR EXPUNGED RECORDS OF CONVICTION OR ARREST.
